It is important that when we speak of \u201cclean technologies\u201d in Canada, we include nuclear. Thanks to nuclear power, the atmosphere gets a break on its steady diet of carbon dioxide \u2013 a 90-million tonne CO2<\/sub> reduction annually.<\/p>\n

\u201cCanada\u2019s record on reducing greenhouse gas emissions is substantially helped by Ontario\u2019s use of nuclear power,\u201d says Canadian Nuclear Association president John Barrett.<\/p>\n

In April 2014, the Ontario government announced a major clean-air landmark: it shut down its last coal-fired generating station, and became the first North American jurisdiction to eliminate coal entirely.<\/p>\n

How was Ontario able to do this? Because it relies on that clean, reliable workhorse \u2013 nuclear power.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely proud of the role Bruce Power has played to support the phase out of coal in Ontario,\u201d says Duncan Hawthorne, Bruce Power President and CEO, and also the Chair of the CNA\u2019s Board of Directors. Bruce Power has doubled its fleet of operating reactors from four to eight, becoming the world\u2019s largest nuclear generating station. Says Hawthorne: \u201cBy returning 3,000 megawatts of safe, reliable and carbon-free electricity to Ontario\u2019s grid, we have played a major role in this important environmental and health initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Ontario, nuclear power provides nearly 60 percent of the electricity mix. Between 2000 and 2013, nuclear-powered electrical generation rose 20 percent, coinciding with a 27 percent drop in coal-fired electricity. During the same period, non-hydro renewables increased to 3.4 percent from one percent. This major transition to a cleaner Ontario could not have happened without nuclear.<\/p>\n
